I'm pretty sure you can't edit with windows media player; movie maker is your best bet.
Why can't you upload it? Try exporting to a different format--I'm sure youtube recommends certain formats, although I'm not sure what is best. I believe it's all re-encoded, anyway, to make it smaller, once you upload it.
